I used to have one for a few years (late '90's to early '00's).

Spent far too much on it, it regularly had problems (mainly due to previous owners bodges banghead ) but it was always fun when it was running correctly smile

White one above looks nice smile I had a couple of the GT Tuning elliptical vents on my front bumper as well - one either side (mainly for the balance of mirrored looks hehe as only the passenger one was slightly functional)

mine died, in a field opposite Goodwood racetrack entrance, before they removed the double bend...they fly well...it was just the landing part. :/

I had a couple of these back in the late 90's. Dying to get another one, but I'm not sure I could justify I fourth car.

Need another raider. Hard to find, and making good money these days

Had a tungsten grey one for a few years when I was 18, went through lots of gearboxes the casings kept splitting in half
Probably due partly by my driving and far to much power , I loved it to bits and still promise myself I'll get another one day

Get one now before a decent survivor is too £ expensive.

A couple of years ago I really struggled to get more than a grand for mine! Now the cheapest ones seem to be going for thousands...

Yes, they have gone up a lot in £. So many were written off / hideously modified / gone rotten / broken for spares, so decent survivors are few and far between.

In the middle of restoring mine. Full story and updates here

I'm not sure about these high prices for cars on sale. Restoration costs are a
cheque-book sport as ever though frown

With Season's Greetings,
Steve
